The original game didn’t quite make the splash Ubisoft had anticipated when it launched alongside the Nintendo console – it never really sold well at retail, critics were lukewarm over it, and Ubisoft itself acknowledged that ZombiU “wasn’t even close to profitable”.

Of course, ZOMBI might not be a straight next-gen port. It could be a sequel, follow-up, spin-off or other project set in the same world as the 2012 Wii U launch title – and we’d be fine with any of these.

We’ve contacted Ubisoft about the project, but – honestly – aren’t expecting much by way of response.
